The 2-blade Gori folding propeller is for sailing yachts fitted with engines up to approximately 60 HP (44 KW). It is available in 7 diameters from 11.5" to 18" for Shaft installation and Sail-drive. RH and LH rotation. The geared blade design ensures blades open and close together giving less vibration ahead and astern. Under sail blades close simultaneously removing the need for elastic bands. Tests have shown that the efficiency of the 2-blade Gori propeller in forward is better than most 2- and 3- blade feathering and folding propellers. Under sail, a fixed propeller slows a yacht much more than most people would imagine. Tests have shown in certain instances that the 2-blade Gori folding propeller reduces the yacht's total drag by 35%. This resulted in one full knot of improvement in speed under sail. A folding propeller as opposed to a feathering propeller does not snag seaweed, lobster lines or plastic bags when sailing.

The 3-blade Gori folding propeller marks a technological and functional leap forward in the development of propellers for sailboats. It is now possible for sailboats and motorsailers to gain the folding propeller's speed advantages under sail, combined with the fixed propeller's thrust capability when motoring. Effective for engines from 10 HP to 300 HP (7 KW - 221 KW) The propeller revolution for larger sailboats and motorsailers is emphasized by the fact that the 3-blade Gori folding propeller can be used for boats fitted with engines from approximately 10 HP (7 KW) and up to approximately 300 HP (221 KW), and the power transfer is on the whole the same as for fixed 3-blade propellers. The design of the Gori propeller results in minimum noise and vibration, which is often a problem for the well-known types of feathering propellers. The 3-blade Gori folding propeller is offered in diameters from 15" and up to 30". Tests by major yachting magazines have shown that the 3-blade Gori folding propeller has a much better efficiency both forward (+11%) and reverse (+6,5%) than a feathering propeller.
